Project Description

Mei Ho House is the last remaining Mark II building in Hong Kong that is in a single-block configuration. The 7-storey block is constructed in an ‘H’ configuration consisting of 2 residential wings, with communal sanitary facilities linking them. In 2009, the government declared that the building will be used by the Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association as a “City Hostel”. To accomplish the renewal of the building, the Association spent HK$150 million on the project to provide 129 guest rooms.
